Suddenly she opens her eyes. She feels confused, extremely weak, she doesn't understand what's around her but she starts getting overwhelmed by her last memories. Battle, blood, voices. 'Ziyuan', 'Dragon of the East', 'Tianshu Ziyuan!', 'Clan Leader!', 'Don't do it!', 'Senior Sister!'. More screams in echo. A huge dark creature, a ritual. It is still unclear to her the meaning of all of it, as her memories are not yet back. She is only sure she was dead, finally in peace. What called me back? What is this? - she thinks.

Around her, she starts to recognize a tent, a large mark on the ground made of blood. Her own blood, she notices many cuts on her arms and realizes what kind of ritual it was.
She finds a letter before her, a message from the real owner of the body. Luckily it is still ancient dolashin that she can understand. She rubs her eyes then aims to read. The writing is very messy, the paper is dirty of blood and a bit wet. Blood and tears? She was desperate - she thinks.

| If I have done everything correctly, you are Tianshu Ziyuan. Clan Leader of the Long Sect.
*illegible words* |
''My name...is Ziyuan? Ne...it is right. But who are you? Sect...SiWang Sect, Wang Clan? Should be it. What grudges do you have? And how many.'' Ziyuan looks at her arms. Many of the cuts were for the blood needed for the ritual but it is clear which are the ones that should instantly heal. She counts four and reading through the letter, she eventually finds the names, or manages to interpret. ''Zhi...Chao...Kim Minah...Zhi Zhuliu and...Wen Lian, from SiWang Sect? Her own Sect? Fine, whatever...they always want revenge. What did they do to you...Wang Ziyi?'' Suddenly she feels pain in her belly and notices more blood coming out from below.
Studying better the room, she notices some scary tool, dirty of blood. She takes one but cannot figure out what it is. If she wasn't tough, the sight of it could cause vomit.
She keeps studying the tent, there are not even clean clothes to change, nor food. The tent itself is not properly made, it is overall bamboo and leaves.
She decides to get rid of everything for her own safety, especially marks of the ritual. She causes a little fire to destroy evidence then starts to move, regardless the pain all over her body. She manages to find a river where she stops to drink and can finally see her face. She notices a bruise mark on her neck, like someone used something in metal, extremely hot, to do it on purpose. She made her own theory about this girl's story by now.
She doesn't know where she is and still cannot recognize the place, she keeps moving for a while in the unknown territory when she notices troops. She manages to spot someone in particular giving her a strange vibe. It is Xie.
She looks at herself. She couldn't have a more desperate look not even if she tried, so she just lets herself fall on their way, begging for help. ''Help me, juseyo...'' She forces herself to show tears too.

Sizhui is ahead and actually recognizes the girl. ''She was another hostage when we went to the Clan Zhi, I remember her...'' He approaches to support her. After the mess with Turchese, they split and they couldn't bring everyone in Shiinden. The girl had the bad luck to come across Zhuliu and Chao. ''We send someone to bring her back to the outpost? Or to Clan Leader Yung?''
''Bring her to our outpost. We'll decide later.''
''Ne.'' Zhui keeps supporting her, accompanying her to Deidara. ''Bring her back. Give her WuNing's blessed water.''
Ziyuan lets them do, pretending to be even worse than she actually is. Her energy is very low at the moment and couldn't use her powers even if she wanted, so she can only let others take care of her.

He is resting on the grass when he suddenly gets a weird feeling of coldness and danger. He sits up and starts to look around when he sees TiHao with another unknown man heading towards the house.

BangSul continues to struggle and nearly cries in presence of Haru and Bin after so long. Haru isn't the softest but Bin knows what really troubles him.
"You crossed the limit. I let you be but you exaggerated." She says, being very disappointed. "Why did you get involved with a princess? You have done something foolish."
"Mianhe, umma..." BangSul doesn't even manage to look at them.
Bin places a hand on Haru's shoulder, looking at BangSul. "I have heard already a few stories from LaNi. The rest is obvious...BangSul, let's start from the very beginning, it was an accident but Nahla recovered, she is fine now. He said you were punishing yourself a lot because of it, I want you to stop. If you want to continue with that path in the Ministry of Justice, you have my full support but at this point, all I would want myself is you to return home."
BangSul is crying, he covers his face and turns around, not even wanting them to approach him. "Why are you so good with me? I don't deserve anything."
"He has a point." Haru says, wanting to hit BangSul.
Bin restains her and shakes his head slightly. "We have all suffered for being split, Tero even wanted to leave to give a space to you. Cannot you return? Not for yourself but all of us who missed you."
BangSul is surprised to hear that about Tero. "He cannot leave because of me. I guess...we could be like before. I am not made to live in a big and luxurious house...I...I will return if Tero stops having these crazy ideas."
Bin smiles slightly at his words. "Geaenchanha. Anyhow, I think you had your reasons to arrive till here with the princess. I don't blame you."
"Appa...mianhe...I don't know what got into me. I thought she would be endangered so we had this idea. I wanted to protect her at any cost." He nearly bursts into tears again and Bin hugs him tightly.
"Son, I understood already...it is fine if you like someone."
"Aniyo...I cannot like her...she is already engaged..." Needless to say, he is already sure the other boy is way better than him.

After changing clothes, BangSul indeed manages to enter a car and turn it on. Luckily they all fit in it, he is not the best driver due to the lack of experience but they reach the place pointed by HoSeok alive and in one piece.
BangSul walks out of the car. He remained very serious the whole time, without being the usual jerk. He leans against the car, looking at the house and crossing his arms. "I have to tell you something, later." He says to HoSeok and TingLin. "Go ahead inside. I have to get rid of this car."

It is night and another job came out. He has to steal something from a noble house, Minister Park's.
He has precise instructions where the object is, he goes straight to the bedroom of the man while he sleeps. He is in full Jaguar outfit.
It is all dark but he can see perfectly inside the room. Something doesn't seem right, the man doesn't make a sound and he decides to uncover him from the blanket, uncovering a pond of blood. A stab on the chest of the Minister to which, he realizes it must be a trap.
Not long after indeed, the IG get called there and they try to catch him. He manages to get away but an arrow hits him in the belly.
In the room, the IG will find even his contract.

He flees, not risking to remain in the Capital. He wonders where he should go, home? To his parents? He is badly wounded and eventually goes for what he deems the best option.
He teleports in his parents' village but crawls inside LaNi's house.
